B or C on the Answer Sheet.
Most people believe French people are different from Americans. Some Americans consider the French the most difficult to work with among Europeans. Such feelings probably stem from a reflection of the French culture， which is quite different from that of the United States.
(7) . Social interactions are constrained by class standing，and during their lifetimes most French people do not encounter much change in social status. Unlike an American， who through hard work and success can move from the lowest economic stratum to the highest， a successful French person might， at best， climb one or two rungs up the social ladder. Additionally， the French are very status conscious and like to provide signs of this status， such as knowledge of literature and arts； a well-designed， tastefully decorated house; and a high level of education.
The French tend to admire or be fascinated with people who disagree with them; in contrast， (8) .As a result， the French are accustomed to conflict and， during negotiations， accept the fact that some positions are irreconcilable and must be accepted as such. Americans， on the other hand， tend to believe that conflicts can be resolved if both parties make an extra effort and are willing to compromise. Also， the French often determine a person’ s trustworthiness based on their first-hand，personal evaluation of the individual’s character. Americans， in contrast， tend to evaluate a person’s trustworthiness on the basis of past achievements and other people’ s evaluations.

Modern Transportation
We are well aware of the role of modern transportation in our lives. Not long ago，people endured great hardship in order to make a long journey. Moving heavy goods fromone town to another involved hard labor. Today， we enjoy the convenience of various kindsof vehicles including ships， planes， trains， and automobiles， which allow us to go whereverwe choose and make our workload much lighter.
But modern transportation， along with convenience has brought various problems.
(Supply the missing details)

In my opinion， we should be more responsible about protecting our world while stillenjoying conveniences the modern transportation brings. Scientists around the world areworking on developing modern fuel that produces less pollution. However， we can all help.The least we can do to reduce pollution from automobiles is only driving when it is absolutelynecessary and using public transportation whenever it is available.
